I had a good 'few bob' (various bets) on Sprinter Sacre last night and again this morning at odds of 1.23 and 1.24. Settled at 1.17 ! A fair chunk considering WW was 20's on here at the time of withdrawl. It would have been better with high street bookies.

Racingstar, you're correct, but in my case, for me to bet with bookies, I have to walk a long way as I don't have accounts of any sort.

I was in UK last week hoping to watch SS, but snow put paid to that. I couldn't come over this weekend due to other committments.

In the case of Williams Wishes being the NR, the reduction factor on winnings for Sprinter Sacre must have been around 23% (5% with bookmakers), for a horse that was 4th ranked in the betting and priced at almost 20 on here.

How the Reductions are applied for Exchange marketsIn the win market, reductions will be made on the traded price.For example: if the non-runner's final reduction factor is 25% the traded price on all previously matched bets on other horses will be reduced by 25% - traded price of 8.0 would become 6.0 etc. And these might be further reduced if another horse is subsequently declared a non-runner.In the place market, reductions will be made to the potential winnings on the bet only, and not the traded price.For example: if the non-runner's final reduction factor is 25% the potential winnings on all previously matched bets on the other horses will be reduced by 25% - a traded price of 8.0 would become 6.25. For example a £10 bet on a horse to be placed at a traded price of 8.0 would provide winnings of £70. If there is a non-runner with a reduction factor of 25% in the race, that factor will be applied to the £70 of potential winnings leaving potential winnings of £52.50. Therefore the revised traded price will be 6.25.The traded price may be further reduced if any other horse(s) is subsequently declared a non-runner, however odds cannot be reduced below 1.01.Reserves: A reserve runner may appear in the relevant markets but will have a non-applicable reduction factor until Betfair has received confirmation that it is a confirmed runner, in which case an applicable reduction factor may apply to it.For the avoidance of doubt, any reduction factor applicable to a non-runner replaced by a reserve, will be applied to all bets struck on the relevant markets, prior to the removal from those markets of such non-runner by Betfair. Likewise, should a reserve runner become a confirmed runner but subsequently become a non-runner, any reduction factor applicable to such non-runner will be applied to all bets struck on the relevant markets, prior to the removal from those markets of such non-runner by Betfair.

Bookmakers R4 deductions are much fairer; Betfairs application of the reduction factor is fundamentally flawed (big time).In the case of Williams Wishes being the NR, the reduction factor on winnings for Sprinter Sacre must have been around 23% (5% w

You won't do yourselves any favours on here if you are from the Far Right...

I've been laying books on the win and place markets here for almost 10 years and the thing I fear most (especially on the place market) is non runners. With the weather we've had for the past 9 months its been a nightmare and I put my prices up much later than I used to. If the RF's are so much in favour of the layers why don't you lot lay the the field first thing in the morning and watch the money roll in when the inevitable NR's come?
